Parents: Do you let your kids play on your phones?

My dog bought a tv episode on Amazon once. I left it on the coffee table and when I came back in, it was playing. In her defense, I did leave the app open.

When J starts Kindergarten in the fall the school suggests we buy the kids Ipads because they have a tech. class that teaches them how to use Ipads. It's almost an expectation.

My 3yo schooled my grandfather on how to use his ipad the other day. It's crazy how quickly they learn.

David has taught me two things about my iphone that I didn't know. lol

It's amazing how quickly they absorb this stuff.

I do not let my grandchildren play with my phone. Both of my daughters let the children play with their phones and they've both had to buy new phones because the children broke them.

Not happening.

I feel like DS has always been interested in our phones. He is always reaching for the phones or DHs tablet. I have a baby app on there that he can play with but it stays locked onto that app so he can't go anywhere else. I use it to get him to hold still for his breathing treatments.

I don't have a smart phone, but E plays with my Galaxy tablet. He recognizes most of his apps, and will sometimes pull up random features.

No, I want to play with it. However, we have a bunch of old smart phones that are from Sprint before we dropped their sorry asses. We out a few kid apps on them, charge them, and voilà - kid phones unable to buy shit or call anyone.

Yep, all the time. They have a whole page of apps on both of our phones.

I let my kids play with my phone from time to time. Not every day, and not every time they ask. I definitely wouldn't let another kid play with it though.
